Miami people
The Miami (Miami-Illinois: ''Myaamiaki'') are a Native American nation originally speaking one of the Algonquian languages. Among the peoples known as the Great Lakes tribes, it occupied territory that is now identified as Indiana, southwest Michigan, and western Ohio. By 1846, most of the Miami had been removed to Indian Territory (now Oklahoma). The Miami Tribe of Oklahoma is the only federally recognized tribe of Miami Indians in the United States. The Miami Nation of Indiana is an unrecognized tribe.
==Name==
The name Miami derives from ''Myaamia'' (plural ''Myaamiaki''), the tribe's autonym (name for themselves) in their Algonquian language of Miami-Illinois. This appears to have been derived from an older term meaning "downstream people." Some scholars contended the Miami called themselves the Twightwee (also spelled ''Twatwa''), supposedly an onomatopoeic reference to their sacred bird, the sandhill crane. Recent studies have shown that ''Twightwee'' derives from the Delaware language exonym for the Miamis, ''tuwéhtuwe'', a name of unknown etymology.〔Costa, David J. 2000. "Miami-Illinois Tribe Names", in John Nichols, ed., ''Papers of the Thirty-first Algonquian Conference'', pp. 30-53. Winnipeg: University of Manitoba.〕 Some Miami have stated that this was only a name used by other tribes for the Miami, and not their autonym. They also called themselves ''Mihtohseeniaki'' (the people). The Miami continue to use this autonym today.
